Good morning and welcome back to the podcast. My name is Mary and you're listening to Prologs.

We're back on track with a Monday upload this week. You guys did not like the Thursday upload. I asked you for feedback because when I do take the podcast hiatus for the rebrand, I was like, oh, maybe we could switch the

upload day, not fans of the Thursday upload. So heard, I see you, I hear you, we don't like it. We like

It's cold.

It's windy.

And then winter starts December 1st and then ends the last day of February. I've been told that's

how meteorologists do it. And also had a lot of people swipe up on my Instagram yesterday and tell me

that's how Australians do it, although obviously the seasons are flipped because they're in the

Southern Hemisphere. But apparently that's how Australians learn about the seasons.
